Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The given crystal field diagrams are to be matched with the correct complex ions.
Concept introduction: Weak field ligand that has small crystal field splitting energy gives high spin due to presence of maximum unpaired electrons in lower energy
Strong field ligand that has large crystal field splitting energy gives low spin due to presence of maximum paired electrons in lower energy
To determine: If the given crystal field diagram corresponds to
